OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

FIVE candidates were baptized at Beverly, Kansas, in May, by Brother J. W. Westphal.

It has been decided by North Pacific Conference to open a mission in Seattle at the earliest opportunity.

BROTHER C. M. GARDNER, who recently came from Utah to labor in the California Conference, has located in Alameda.

MEETINGS were held at Farmington, N. M., May 20-24, when six candidates were baptized, and the new house of worship was dedicated. Brother H. L. Hoover conducted the services.

BROTHER T. E. BOWEN, who has long been connected with the West Virginia Tract Society, has gone to New York to labor in connection with that conference, with headquarters at Rome, 317 W. Bloomfield Street.

FORTY-TWO of the spring class of nurses from the Sanitarium school at Battle Creek, Mich., are now in Chicago for a summer sojourn and labor in practical missionary work. Dr. David Paulson and Mrs. Paulson accompany the class. This raises the number of laborers of all classes to about one hundred, in that city.

AT the late session of Iowa Conference the following officers were chosen: President, Clarence Santee; secretary, L. Flora Plummer; treasurer, C. F. Stevens; executive committee—C. Santee, C. F. Stevens, P. A. Hansen, J. W. Dorcas, Wm. Guthrie; missionary secretary, Jessie V. Bosworth; State canvassing agent, W. L. Manfull.

We find this note from Brother J. A. Leland, of Buenos Ayres, Argentina, in the Echoes, of Denver, Colo.:

"I praise the Lord for the aid He has been to me in learning Spanish. To me it appears really wonderful. Of course I do not speak it perfectly, and practise is needed. I think our school in Entre Rios will be a great help to this field. Schooling is at a low ebb here. There are thousands of children who do not know anything of school. Our own people are very backward also, but we hope much for the school, and believe there will be much interest in it, and plenty of money to carry it on. It is away from any city, in a colony of Russians. It will seem almost like burying Professor DeLearsy, but that is a missionary's lot."
